> • Driver issues #1: plugging random things in via USB. Linux has impressive driver support for things that are well understood. But the lesser well-standardized hardware (printers, scanners, WiFi dongles, ...) may not work. Know before you buy. Windows again has it best, but knowing if it runs on Mac is usually printed on the packaging. (And Linux is not.) A printer and a WiFi dongle work out of the box, probably because they aren't the newest technology. > And Linux is not. My WiFi dongle advertised Linux support—and it's just the cheapest thing I found. I think anything older than a couple of years is generally well supported. YMMV.
